Anyone aged 18 years of age or older can attend one of the advertised clinics without a booking, to receive a free AstraZeneca vaccine.
SNSWLHD Chief Executive Margaret Bennett says she hopes the clinics will provide an added boost to local vaccination rates simply by making it easier to get a vaccination.
"Our staff will ensure that people register on site on the day they attend so that they get a record of their vaccination. They can also book in a second vaccination date at the same time.
"We urge everyone in the community to come forward for their jab as high vaccination rates are essential to protect our loved ones and the broader community from the threat of this virus."
All clinics will open 9am - 4pm.
